a natural misunderstanding...

You Don't Have To Own A Cat To Appreciate This One!

You don't even have to like 'em!

We were dressed and ready to go out for the New Year's Eve Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.

We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house.

The cat we put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird.

My wife goes out to the taxi, while I went inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, "He's just going upstairs to say Good-bye to my
mother."

A few minutes later, I get into the cab. "Sorry I took so long," I said, as we drove away. "That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it
worked! I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"

The cab driver hit a parked car.


hey! it could happen...

Honest to God, I come here at least twice a week just for these gems of yours.

Although I love almost everything on the blog. Nice job!

thank you. you're so kind.

i'm in a sort of transition stage with the blog because i am so fed up with all this election b.s. it's driving me nuts, if you hadn't noticed.

the cartoon of the couple and the Geneva Convention is my all time favorite, almost, because of this. i've been wondering if waterboarding might a kinder, gentler form of enhanced interrogation!

I must also return the compliment. you're site has been on my daily read list for a long time. thanks for sharing what you're learning.

i was an educator, well i still am only as a consultant, and i always told the kids, "when you stop learning, you're dead." so, naturally, i loved your take when i read "It's all about me" on your site.
